Question 1

Is it necessary to buy additional insurance when hiring a car at Kotoshiba Station?

Accepted Answer

When hiring a car at Kotoshiba Station, valid insurance is required for financial protection; without it, your rental may be denied. If you already have insurance that covers international rentals for your vehicle type or if your credit card offers rental insurance abroad, you might not need extra coverage. However, if these conditions don't apply to you, purchasing additional insurance is advisable. You can choose from options such as Excess Fee Insurance during the booking process on our website, or Full Coverage Insurance or Excess Reduction at the rental counter to ensure comprehensive protection.

Question 2

Do I need to return the car with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

Whether you need to return the car with a full tank of gas depends on the fuel policy you select. With a full-to-full or same-to-same policy, you must return the vehicle with the same level of fuel it had when you picked it up. If you don’t, you’ll incur a charge for the missing fuel, usually at a rate higher than local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank, which means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, this option typically results in a higher overall cost, as you’ll be charged the local gas price minus a discount per gallon.

Question 3

Is it more cost-effective to hire a car for a week at Kotoshiba Station?

Accepted Answer

Hiring a car for a week at Kotoshiba Station can sometimes be more cost-effective than hiring for a shorter period, as many car hire companies offer weekly rates that provide better value. To ensure you get the best deal, it’s advisable to compare rates and check for any available discounts or promotions during the booking process. Always review the pricing details carefully before finalizing your reservation.

Major credit cards like Visa, MasterCard, or Discover are accepted for this purpose. The credit card must be in the primary driver's name to ensure financial responsibility for the vehicle. While some locations may accept debit cards, they often require additional documentation or a credit check.

Question 7

What details are covered in the car hire contract?

Be sure to review the contract thoroughly to understand all aspects of your rental agreement.

Question 8

What is the process for returning a car at Kotoshiba Station?

Accepted Answer

To return a car at Kotoshiba Station station, ensure that the vehicle is in the same condition as when you rented it and that the fuel tank is full. Follow the signs to the designated return area at the car hire location. If you need to return the vehicle outside of regular business hours, look for any instructions or an after-hours drop-off box at the return area. It’s a good idea to confirm with the car hire company beforehand about their off-hour procedures to ensure a smooth return process. Be sure to complete any required paperwork or check-in steps as instructed.

Question 9

Can I use a debit card to hire a car at Kotoshiba Station?

Accepted Answer

Debit cards are accepted by many international car hire companies, but policies can vary by supplier and location. At Kotoshiba Station, acceptance of debit cards depends on the specific hire agency's terms and conditions. Generally, you may need to provide additional documentation or undergo a credit check if using a debit card. To confirm whether your debit card will be accepted and to understand any additional requirements, check the terms on the booking website or contact the hire company directly before making your reservation.

Question 10

Can another person drive my hire vehicle?

Accepted Answer

Yes, another person can drive your hire vehicle, but they must be listed as an additional driver on your hire agreement. If someone who is not included in the agreement drives the vehicle, it may void the hire contract, and the insurance provider might refuse to cover any damage. To ensure coverage and avoid potential issues, make sure to register any additional drivers with the car hire company.
